I Wanted To rewrite the article Due to fact that i am not
Dave Noble and i consider it to be notable but he speedydelted Under G4 even thogh the orignal circumstances no longer apply Rancalred (talk) 20:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Endorse close. The only source cited was to an online dictionary anyone can post to without editorial oversight. It meets the defintion of a self published source, whether or not it is the same author who creates the Wikipedia article. No one has yet provided any additional sources that could be considered reliable. Therefore, the original reasons for deletion still apply. Singularity42 (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. As a physicist myself, I don't mind having more physics articles on Wikipedia. However, as an admin here, I have to admit that the deletion arguments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nuclear Time Unit still seem to apply — the term is rarely used and doesn't seem to be notable. That discussion is only 1 month old. The new version that I just speedy-deleted under WP:CSD#G4 appeared to be a dictionary definition, and references Webster's dictionary as its only source. Wiktionary is the proper venue to post definitions, but they have their own inclusion criteria over there. I would suggest, if the article is to be re-created, that it be developed in Rancalred's user space, for example User:Rancalred/Nuclear Time Unit, to be worked on at leisure without risk of deletion, until it is developed to the point of being worthy to move into main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I closed the AfD discussion. I think the new one is at least as unsuitable as the one at the AfD, though perhaps not in the strict sense a re-creation. I though SNOW applied then, and I think it probably will now. DGG ( talk ) 20:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A Quick google search on this topic returns "About 377,000,000 results "
i think you should check it out.--Rancalred (talk) 21:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The correct google search for this topic would be this one, which, interestingly, does give four results. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to examine them and decide whether all the appropriate sources are talking about the same thing.—S Marshall T/C 22:09, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Vague waves towards such results suggesting others search though them to see if the subject is notable, oddly enough isn't often entertained. It's for you to work through them and point people to a few significant ones which would overcome the reason for deletion. As it is your google is quite flawed, it seems you just search for the three unquoted words which returns vast numbers of results which don't even contain the three words, yet alone the three words together. Putting quotes around "Nuclear Time Unit" and repeating the search and it says about 32,600 results. Clicking on page 10 of those results actually takes you to page 8, now claiming 77 results. The few I looked at are as problematic as the dictionary one already mentioned. User:S Marshall shows above how to get better quality results by using the scholar section of google, which return fewer still. The nom in the AFD (at least) covers those, they don't seem to be in much agreement as to the subject. --82.19.4.7 (talk) 22:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I Examined them and found all of them are the correct except for the second one (one citation and two (copyrighted) Scientific Journal's is this sufficient sourcing? --Rancalred (talk) 22:28, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's sufficient sourcing on which to say that in a paper published in 1976 a nuclear time unit was defined as ħ/mc2. What else did you want to say?—S Marshall T/C 22:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (To Rancalred) What do you mean by "correct"? None of them define the term the way either version of the deleted article did (including the version you created). If someone wants to write a properly sourced article, beyond a dictionary definition, where this term is defined as
ħ/mc2 , that's great (although I would think more than one source is required, but that's neither here nor there in this discussion). But both deleted versions of the Wikipedia article (and, apparantly, what is still being proposed) are defining the term as something else entirely, without the backing of any reliable sources.

- Endorse. I have particularly strong doubts about the legitimacy of a supposed technical term in physics when no one who espouses it seems to be able to spell "vacuum" correctly. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
